Jake is 8!

It's crazy to believe that our little Jake is now 8 years old. It's even crazier to think that he's going to be baptised in a few weeks. Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!

When Jake came to us with the idea of taking his friends to Chuck A Rama for his Birthday Party (an all you can eat Buffet) Scott and I started laughing but when we realized he was serious, we thought - why not?

Saturday morning four of Jake's friends and his cousin Logan arrived at our house and we were off to Chuck A Rama's. We let the boys sit at their own table and then let them go to down. I think the record was ten plates and I think nine out of the ten plates was dessert. The boys had a ton of fun. After stuffing themselves we took them back to our house to open presents and let them hang for a couple of hours. I have to say it was the easiest and cheapest Birthday Party I've ever done (a big thanks to my Mom and Dad who joined us at the restaurant and gave us some Kid's eat FREE coupons).

Jake's actual Birthday fell on Sunday. Jake had to wait until after church to open his presents because his Dad was at early morning church meetings. Jake said it was the longest church 'ever'!!! After presents we ate a big BIRTHDAY brunch which consisted of all of Jake's favorite breakfast foods; pancakes, eggs, ham and scones. Later that evening we headed to Grandma's house for dinner and Birthday Cake!!!

Happy Birthday Jake!! We love you!!!!
